10. Forget the exit polls. DU seems to be the last place...
...on earth where the fact that this US exit poll cannot used to verify the election is not well known. Unlike exit polls in Europe (most of them anyway) this US exit poll was not designed to verify the election. It was designed to provide THE ENTITY THAT PAID FOR IT (MSM) with demographic information. Exit polls that focus on demographics can't be used reliably to verify the election.

I've posted many links to experts, but all of the links I post have been rejected, not on the merits, but based on the notion that the web site I link to is a moderate or conservative site or the author of the statement is a moderate or conservative. Well, finally, liberals are getting on board: http://www.alternet.org/story/20934
